1. The light of Allah, exalted is His majesty, brings me joy
And I walked where the Prophet and his family walked

2. And attained the best of what a Muslim could wish for
And the most precious that his imagination aspires to

3. I have been enabled to enjoy my fortune, so its coming or going does not preoccupy me
He whose journey through life concludes with a return

4. To Allah has a good ending and destination
O Lord, Your servant who disobeyed You and went astray

5. Comes to You asking for guidance
The horizons of Hejaz have become too narrow

6. For his sins, under which mountains would collapse
This penitent pleading for Your pardon, O Forgiving One

7. What state is he in that reflects his condition
The threat of punishment made his hopes tremble

8. Fear of punishment shook his limbs
Until, when the Sacred House embraced him

9. His nightingales were reassured and his mind set right
O Lord, You have realized my hopes, and he

10. Whom Your House shelters will not despair
You instilled serenity into the anxious heart

11. Now it has no more turmoil or tremors
O You who love the penitent, you called upon the One

12. Who makes repentance sincere - will You answer his prayer?
The Muslims and their religion are in distress

13. Their state and condition have not escaped You
And I see them split apart as if they were

14. A single body whose limbs have been torn
And I see that they have enabled their enemy

15. To enslave them in shackles and bonds
The enemy attacks them arrogant and cruel

16. Increasing his tyranny and punishment over them
And I suspect some may betray their tribe

17. Seduced by power or money gained through treachery
And I suspect some foolish ones deceived

18. By Allah's postponing, not neglecting, punishment
And I suspect some only repent out of need

19. If it passes, their straying defeats repentance
O Lord, inspire us to follow Your path, turning

20. The tragedies of our days and afflictions away from us
O You who illuminates the soul with Your splendid light

21. And reveals the beauty of beauty with Your beauty
